About this listen
Every hero has a beginning. So does every villain.
Titan, the world’s greatest superhero, has been murdered by his longtime archenemy Lord Borealis. And from the ashes rises a new generation.
Gifted with powers on the night of Titan’s death, 15-year-old Hugo awakes to the strange world of superheroes. A world he isn’t prepared for.
But with godlike powers and a history of tragedy, will Hugo become a guardian of justice...or agent of chaos?
Warning: Contains moderate swearing and big damn superhero action. If you’re not a fan of moderate swearing or big damn superhero action, this book might not be for you.

It's alright
The back splits off into 3 different, storylines I mainly enjoyed listening to Hugo's storyline, It's more captivating than the others.
The narrators did a really good job.

Not terrible.
I actually think the writing in this is pretty solid through out. My main complaint is that some of the narration is stiff ans monosyllabic.

Super
I would have said I loved this book but the story just ended and it felt flat, I guess the author did it this way to make sure you get the next book, which I was going to do anyway. The story is made up by following three different characters and as they didn't come together (which I spent the whole book waiting for) it did feel like it could have been made into three different stories and then maybe we could have had a better ending. This also meant that the story would get exciting with one character before jumping to another character and then back again, making it jumpy but having the three narrator's helped. Each character and the challenges they face is very different but I liked the characters. There is a lot of names and super hero names but you quickly learn the main ones. There is plenty of teen drama such as bullying, super hero fights and learning how to use powers, mystery as are intrepid reporter looks into the super hero world and backstabbing, all of it making for an entertaining listen. Off to start the next book to see who really killed Titan.
With the greatest super hero dead Hugo, a high sophomore has to come to terms with not only losing his hero but after a serve beating gaining his powers. He has a summer to learn how to control his powers before he has to once again face the bullies at school. Gaining powers changed his way of looking at things including the girl he has been crushing on for years. Can he keep his powers secret of will the bullies finally push him to far?
Quinn tackles the death of Titan differently by shadowing his old team mates in order to do an in depth interview with the supers to find out how they are coping without there leader? Being up close to her hero's is an eye opener for Quinn, who use to do fluff pieces for the newspaper but is she about to learn to much?
Greyson has know he has had powers for years, ever since he and his father got caught in super hero battle that killed everybody else but his father's glee at Titan's death leads him to losing his temper. As a result he seeks therapy from the one man who seems to understand him but it is only when he attends group therapy that things start to change for him. Can he finally start to control his powers?
I liked having the three narrator's it meant I never had to try and work out which characters point of view I was listening to because they each had there own distinctive voice.

Confusing
The cover is a little misleading.
To start the story has a lot of different character points, each directing into a different story of their own. And the layout is that If I get interested into the direction of one it splits into another.
A lot of drama instead of action is okay, there was only one combat scene in the entire book and I wouldn't say it was done incredibly well so it probably won't appeal to a lot of people who look for those types of books.
In another review someone mentioned SJW ideals were all over the book. Whilst I was confused why one of the MC's responded "because I'm black" out of nowhere I think the other characters response was normal for that situation, surprised and gobsmacked. Not that I even knew that the mc was black until very into the book maby because I was confused with all the other equally important MC's. There was also a mention of mansplaining once by a man. Personally I don't think we have the same terms for that thing.
Overall I think the story didnt accomplish what was needed (interesting developments). The one thing that interested me a lot was related to a car and some damage, the rest of the story in comparison felt like filler. All the different characters at once confused any single original character development felt muted at best. I could be wrong though, maby someone will enjoy this book. But after a long time of listening to it I've not developed any interest. I think another review got the cake on this one "Eh..."
Though I do wish you all a lovely day :D
